Apollo 11 - The Complete Mission | KSP RSS/RO

Apollo 11. The Legendary Mission, aboard the mighty Saturn V.

I've done many things with the Saturn V - sent it to the Moon, sent it Saturn, bellyflopped it onto the VAB, stuck it onto a giant Christmas tree on Pluto, and made it fully reusable.

Now, on the 53rd Anniversary of Apollo 11s landing, I present The Complete Mission - bit of a longer video, but I hope my cinematic skills are enough to keep you interested!

Most of the mods can be found through the installation guide:

RIP Neil Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012), aged 82
And
RIP Michael Collins (October 31, 1930 – April 28, 2021), aged 90
You both will be remembered as legends.

I LOVED that launch sequence. All the shots, especially the ones of the arm retraction and F-1 ignition were amazing. Everything, from the launch, docking, landing, ascent, and return was beautifully filmed and edited.

This is the greatest ksp Apollo 11 recreation so far!
The start up sequence is jaw dropping. I love those slow mo shot recreation!
The other scene is still well made as ever with many more trivia there.
Great work as always!

[Woofer]

it's still mindblowing to think about how, after ~4 million years of evolution and tens of thousands of years of history, Humanity has never laid eyes on the Earth until 1969... 51 years ago. All of human history that has ever happened was on the tiny blue ball in the middle of space, and as Armstrong once said "All of it can fit behind your thumb"

[znatrix]

That startup sequence was AMAZING!!! Hats off for the effort this video must have taken!

[BamFourThousand]

Little do they know people 50 years from now will think its fake

[evildr.porkchop]

Another beautifully shot video TD, music choices were excellent and really fitted with on screen action. Very well done indeed. An amazing tribute! 😎

[vrlc]

The camera angles of the launch were spot on, it all looked like the launch we've all seen a thousand times.

[AzureImperiumX]

I bet he was fuming about that reentry heating indicator. A perfect shot and then that popped up. Still an amazing video can’t wait to see more stuff like this

[santiagob.]

I watched a documentary once which was most if not all NASA audio with real footage from the mission. This movie you made reminded me of it. I absolutely love seeing the 3rd person camera with ksp! it gives the mission much more scale than the mission footage could’ve given it! Fantastic job!

[AustinPrevette]

This is some great work, you got crazy potential and I can't wait to see future projects that benefit the community.

This is the first time i watched a 30-minute video without skipping. And before i knew it I've watched the whole thing.

[WarpPrime]

Being the overly detail-oriented person that I am, the inboard J2 never shutdown early during Apollo 11, only incidentally on 13 and was programmed in after 14. Really enjoyed the show!

[Daftpanzer]

Amazing work, I was gripped from start to finish. I know it's not easy to do this in game, let alone recreate a historical mission AND record it with cinematic flair AND do the video and sound editing. Thank you for all the effort!

[lautaroacerbi]

Imagine being an engineer working hard on this project that will be a very important advance in human history. Nothing can go wrong, every number counts. All this so that years later they say it was fake

[seantaggart]

Im In AWE
hearing the voices of them
It makes me feel the history
Now with sls launching soon
I can't wait to hear that history again

[AstronAndry]

Everyone forgets the fourth crew member of the mission: The camera man. Spent most of their time EVA'd

[chaotickreg]

1:43 Imagine how heavy they must feel at this moment. They're in the big suits, being pushed on by an elevator, about to pilot what's among the most expensive projects to ever be undertaken. And they're about to feel a lot more Gs than that before, suddenly, the weight is all gone.

[arsnicmarie]

my goodness this is U DID SUCH A GOOD JOB CAPTURING THE MISSION!
such a good video, cant imagine how much work went into it!

[shankthebat]

This is easily the best Kerbal video I have ever seen. The bar is pretty high, but wow, this is astounding.
